The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

Some owners may comment of a high pitch hum, buzz or vibration type noise during acceleration. This noise may be heard coming from the left front engine compartment. The left engine mount heat shield may be vibrating creating the noise.

Recommendation/Instructions:

To correct this noise slightly bend/adjust the front surface of the heat shield with a pair of pliers. This will slightly crease the shield stopping it from vibrating.
